I'm sticking my neck out and saying Zimbabwe win. Feel free to mock me if they don't.

Meh both openers out close together, I wanted more than 40 with no wickets or catches Gayle...
Apart from those three sixes WI struggling really, but then they did in the first half of their innings against Pakistan and got a decent total in the end.

I dont think they struggled. I just think they played conservatively knowing the only way to lose this game was to gift early wickets and that if they batted the full 50 overs then they would win.

I think a Zimb win would jepodise Ireland Super 8 place, and non eof us want that to happen ..c'mon West IndiesWI should still walk this but the 4th wicket has made it a little more interesting.
Would be nice to see Zim win this one and cause another upset as long as Ireland still squeek through to the Super 8s

Sticking to your theory that they're just playing conservatively and not struggling then?WI should still walk this but the 4th wicket has made it a little more interesting.

Its what they were doing early with no wickets lost. Cant apply something relating to a past situation to a current one.

It was pretty clear I was referring to after they lost both openers and as I said apart from the three sixes they were struggling, they were scoring at 3 an over.
They are still clear favourites now, but doesn't alter the fact that they've struggled.

There is now a possibility that the Pak/Zim match may be called off. From a BBC article:
Mark Shields said there was sufficient information to continue a full investigation into the death.
The Pakistan team are now discussing whether to pull out of their World Cup match with Zimbabwe, a spokesman said.
